Automatic locker in my Daily driver

I'm really starting to consider dropping a lock-Right into the rear end of my daily driver. I don't want to invest another grand into my truck for an ARB or elocker. Should I do it? How bad really is the on highway behavior?

one o my buddies just bought an aussie locker for his dd and we threw it in and the thing is f-in awesome. on the road can barely even tell its in there, but off road you can definatly tell.

the cheap little things are a good investment if you ask me.

I'm doing it! I'll post information on the outcome once I've got it in there.

I have a detroit in the rear. You can tell it's there when the roads are slick. Just something that you have to get used to. I have had a little abnormal tire wear but not enough to care about. I hate the detroit I have up front. It sucks only locking one hub on slick roads.
